"We are 8 days into a 10-day stay by house guests from London.&amp;nbsp; Now it is easy to figure out what to do with guests visiting for a couple of days:&amp;nbsp; French Quarter tour, Uptown, riverboat, cocktails at The Columns, lunch at Galatoire's, Rebirth on Tuesday, Kermit on Thursday...&amp;nbsp; but when friends stay for 10 days you go beyond the touristy bits and they begin to observe life in New Orleans on an everyday basis. It was with that and the David Thompson Thai Food cookbook in mind that we embarked on one of my favorite, VERY local, outings - a trip to New Orleans East to the Vietnamese grocery stores in Versailles.&amp;nbsp; Now I have taken cooking classes in Thailand and Vietnam and Thai cooking classes in London and New Orleans and so I am cursed with the desire to select ever more obscure (but highly regarded) recipes, find ever more&amp;nbsp; obscure (but highly regarded) ingredients and spend an afternoon creating.&amp;nbsp; Fortunately our guests were up to the challenge."^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
